Hello! đź‘‹

My name is Marlis and I’m a fourth year economics PhD student at the Norwegian School of Economics NHH and affiliated with FAIR.

My primary research field is behavioral economics and I use field, lab, and survey experiments to study questions in the economics of education, gender, and information, both with adults and children.
